Colette Heads to London for Pop Up Shop

Colette is popping up in East London at the Old Truman Brewery from November 26 - January 3!

Before you lucky Londoners get too excited, there is a catch. It's impossible to simply show up and shop at said pop-up holiday store. For the luxury of purchasing Colette-edited gifts one must first get on the guest list by either applying online—which British Vogue reports is not as easy as it sounds—or tracking down store sponsored Nissan Cube cars cruising through London and asking the driver for an invite (and hopefully a ride).

Those lucky enough to enter the store will find a number of Japanese inspired lifestyle products for sale (including the Nissan Cube car), live music, fashion presentations, and art installations.

Sounds lovely, but it might actually be easier to hop on the Eurostar and visit the real deal in Paris.

Nissan Cube: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I'm not exactly a gear-head, but I can appreciate nice cars.

I'm not exactly a gear-head, but I can appreciate nice cars. Especially those that are gas friendly and geeked out, which could describe the Nissan Cube to a T. Emphasis on the could. I mean, I love the fact that the Nissan Cube offers full iPod integration, a sweet six-speaker sound system (two of which are called tweeters — how awesome is that?), satellite radio, and Bluetooth, all packed in a boxy exterior, but with a surprisingly curvaceous and roomy interior.

My only complaint is that most of these features come standard on the most expensive model, and aren't offered at all on the lower tiered ones. Shouldn't all of these great tech integrations come standard on all cars these days? Especially one whose ads are branding it as a Mobile Device? But at the end of the day, I gotta face the fact that what really endeared me to this car is the gadget grass on the dashboard that keeps your gear in its place. I admit it — I'm easily pleased.
